Y/n is seen using a toothpick and a wrench on his shoes, he was currently at his work bench on his desk. The 007 USB was currently attached to his hip at all times. "No..that's not gonna work."

Y/n looked at his shoes, "something to send the Germada to the present...well, my present. If I used the shoes and the air compression with it, it would just send everything to the future."

Y/n grunted and held his head, "this was so easier when I had everything." Y/n then looks at the USB, pulled it from the hip and uploaded it to the gauntlet he's been tinkering with. A holographic screen appeared, while Y/n held his hands far out from each other on the desk. The loading screen finished and Y/n's inventions were shown. "wow, 007 was kidding. Everything's on here."

Y/n used two fingers to scroll down, until he got to something interesting. "Hello? What are you?"

Y/n zoomed into a holographic image of his shoes, but he then grabbed it and moved it to the center of the room, where it floated. Y/n span it around, looking at it from all angles. "An overdrive feature for my hovershoes. That would be great for getting out of danger..."

Y/n tapped the corner of the screen, "material list...let's see... where would I... ah!"

Y/n remembered the warehouse he busted the first few nights he arrived in the past. He grabbed the box from under his bed and pressed a yellow button, expanding the crate to its normal size. He propped the goodies open and took out some supplies. "I may not be able to make the usb work properly with the gauntlet, but at least I can use this."

And so, Y/n went to work. But not before, "oh yes, soundproof walls, on!"

The walls became slightly tinted as Y/n picked up the toothpick again along with some goggles, and finally went to work. A few minutes later, a knock on the door, the only none soundproof part of the room, was heard. Y/n paused, "who is it?"

"It's me! Yor." Yor says as she started getting nervous.

"Just you?" Y/n asked, moving his safety goggles onto the top of his head.

"Yes, just in. Is it okay to come in?" Yor asked as Y/n snapped his fingers. The door opened, Yor was confused. "I didn't know we had that kind of door."

"We don't, I added it for mine." Y/n went back to work, snapping his fingers to close the door behind Yor. She looked at the workbench.

"Are those your shoes? I hope you haven't been using the hover feature at school." Yor placed herself gently on the bed.

"Nope, I haven't. Not like anyone would believe that I made these anyway." Y/n stated as Yor seemed nervous.

"Why don't you show Loid these inventions?" Yor suggested as Y/n paused. There was a little silence.

"Do you think Loid would approve of those gadgets? Plus, at the moment, I don't see a reason to show him." Y/n harshly stated.

"Well, I just..." Yor tried to explain.

"Those that suddenly gain all the knowledge in the world would use it to fulfill all the tasks and selfish dreams that they have." Y/n darkly stated, gripping his shoes. "If Loid got some of this, he'd be like everyone else. Taking some and using it for their own agenda. I can't risk that without my supervision."

"I see...."

"Sorry, you came in here for a reason, right?" Y/n put his stuff down and looked at her. "How can I help you?"

"Well, we've found those other people you were referring to at several of our sites." Yor explained as she gained a worried look, "they're armed with very advanced mechanisms and machinery unlike anything we've seen."

"Yeah, sounds like them." Y/n says as he held up a ray gun, "alright, where do we find them?"

"That's the thing. We don't." Yor explained.

Y/n immediately understood, he glared, "what? You can't be serious! They're my problem! I can deal with them too!"

"Y/n, you're not ready yet, okay?" Yor held his shoulder.

"That's a bunch of Shuttle! I've been training with you plus I got all these gadgets! I can fight! I thought the whole point of adopting me was so I could help take these down." Y/n gritted his teeth.

Yor gave a serious look, "you're the only one that understands how these people work. The in and outs. So if you die, what do you think the information that's with you goes?"

"Ghg-!" Y/n couldn't argue any longer, he was beat. "I see... I get it..."

Yor gave a sympathetic smile, "I know you wanna get in there, maybe if I see your training improve, I'll put in a word for the others."

Y/n nodded, "okay, I guess I'll get back to working on the overdrive feature."

"Okay, I should get going too." Yor stood up, walking towards the door, "I can't be late to work. Have a lovely day!" she then paused,  "What does that 'gun' do, anyway?" Yor asked.

Y/n gave a small chuckle, "it's an invention I made when I was trying to play God. It cures every type cancer."

Yor smiled, "that's amazing-"

"And if I turn the dial, it gives people the worst kinds of cancer." Y/n casually stated as Yor froze.

Yor was genuinely disturbed and shocked, "why...why would you make something like this?"

"Like I said, I was trying to play God."
——
A group of men in military uniforms go marching into an office. The man sitting down looked at them, "d-do you people need something...?!"

One of them help up a card, "we're from the State Security Service. Jim Hayward, correct? You're under arrest for suspicion of espionage."

"Y-You think I'm a spy?! Hey, wait!" the man was grabbed and dragged outside. "STOP THIS! LET ME GO!!"

"Shut up. You can give your story back at HQ."
——-
"AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED THIS MORNING! SERIOUSLY, I WAS SCARED!" one of Yor's workers relayed back to her.

"I hear the guy was in the Financial department, and was selling official documents on the black market." the smoking worker stated.

"So he was a bad guy then!" Yor understood the situation, with a confident reply.

"Jeez! If they had to arrest someone, why couldn't it be our chief." Mille shouted as the chief grew shocked.

"Morning..." Camilla walked in with dopey eyes.

"Oh morning!"

Yor bowed, "good morning, Camilla."

Camilla turned to Yor, "oh right, Yor. My boyfriend said he ran into your little brother last night. You still haven't told him about your marriage?"

Yor froze, "oh no! I knew I was forgetting something!"

"You forgot to tell him..for a while year?"

"Why does your marriage have to be such a mystery anyway?" Mille asked.

"Wh-what do I do..? I haven't told him about Y/n either..." Yor started to panic.

"He said he's call the office later." Camilla informed Yor.

"Oh right! I never told him the phone number for the new house! I even got married just so he wouldn't worry, but after we registered I was so relived, and with everything that happened, it completely slipped my mind! No, I had my hands full with all that exam stuff!"

Mille smiled, "hey, is your brother hot? Introduce me!"

"Don't you already have a boyfriend, Mille?"

"We broke up the other day." Mille said before Yor pulled out a photo of Yor and her brother, "whoa, is this a picture of him? He's so cute!"

"Isn't he? Yuri's just adorable!" Yor agreed, "and he's always clinging to me too, going 'Yor' this and 'sis' that!"

"Ugh, so he's that type, huh? Hard pass."

"If he loves you that much, doesn't that make it even worse that you haven't told him?"
—————
"Torture me all you want! Ah! I'll never sell out my friends!"

"Why you little..! You're a stubborn one, Bondman!"

Y/n is seen watching tv with Anya, "I don't get this show..."

"What's wrong?" Anya asked as Loid stared at the two.

"By physically harming them, all the words and information they try to get out of the guy will prove invalid." Y/n stated as Anya started to cover Y/n's mouth. "Excuse-mmmh!"

"Gah! Only two bullets left!"

"Pa, how many shots does Bondman's pistol have?" Anya asked.

"Hmm that kind of gun should have 8 shots, fully loaded." Loid informed.

"Two eights!" Anya stated.

Loid was shocked, quickly standing up, "you got it right!"

"Remaining ammunition: Two Eights!" Anya had a smug look.

"I'm amazed you even know that word!"

However, the loud footsteps grew closer before Yor bursted into the home, "b-b-bad news, Loid!"

"Welcome home, Yor." Loud simply said.

Y/n tried to say the same but Anya was still covering his mouth. "Remaining ammunition: two eights!"

"YURI IS... MY BROTHER'S COMING TO VISIT! TONIGHT!" Yuri shouted.

"TONIGHT!!" Y/n broke free confused.

"I haven't told him about the marriage...so he said he'd come to congratulate us! I told him it could wait, but he insisted!" Yor stated, "so what do we do...? Won't he find out that we're faking it?"

Loid simply smiled, "don't worry. This is exactly the occasion we prepared the 'loving couple' set for!"

They suddenly transformed their room to be all lovey dovey. The two adults blushed, but Y/n held Anya in his hands unamused. The two looked at the parents, "are you gonna kiss now?"

"WE'RE NOT!"
———-
"When's ma's brother gonna get here...?" Anya asked Loid.

"He's your uncle." Loid informed.

"Uncle."

Loid noticed Anya getting sleepy, "it's getting late. No need to push it, just go to sleep."

"But I wanna meet uncle..." Anyassid before she passed out.

"I got her." Y/n picked Anya up and walked to the hallway.

Y/n opened the door and placed Anya inside her bed, "ba..."

Anya gripped onto Y/n's shirt, with a sad look. Y/n rose an eyebrow before placing the penguin plushie into her hands. "Right here, Sparkplug."

"He must be working really late." Yor looked out the window.

"Had it been a while since you last met him?" Loid asked Yor.

"Yes! Circumstances aside, I'm looking forward to seeing him!" Yor says and soon enough, the door bell rings.

Yuri walks in with a bunch of flowers and a bright smile, "nice to meet you, I'm Yor's brother, Yuri!"

Y/n looked into his eyes and a shiver was sent through his body. Loid and Yor smiled bright, "welcome!"

Loid and Yuri shook hands, "please come in, oh, let me take your coat and briefcase."

"Thanks, but I'm fine." Yuri refused with a smile.

Loid brushed it off, "I'll whip something up real quick, so you two can go ahead and catch up."

"Thank you." Yuri's facade broke. "Who'd want something you made?"

"Gee, you must be nervous, Yuri. Your face is so scary." Yor giggled.

"I'm not nervous. Uu oh, did I show my hostility? I haven't had a chance to calm down after the interrogation... I have to pretend to be a diligent public servant in front of my sister." Yuri gave a 'Briar' smile.

"I have to pretend to be a loving wife in front of Yuri." Yor, on the other hand, was  sweating internally, "I absolutely can't let him find out that I got married so I could keep up my assassin job!"

Yuri looked at Y/n, before he froze. He looked at Yor's red eyes, Loid's blue eyes, before going back to Y/n's purple eyes. Y/n raised an eyebrow with confusionas Yuri started to get a cold sweat, "Y-Yor is that...?!"

"Oh, Y/n, meet your Uncle Yuri!" Yor pulled Y/n close, Yor hugged Y/n. "Yuri, meet my son, Y/n!"

Yuri started to fall to his knees, "no way... that bastard knocked up my sister! I'll kill him and then myself!"

"I'm adopted." Y/n kept Yuri from offing himself.

"Well, if he was raised by you for some time now, he must be special." Yuri actually approved of Y/n, only because of his sister's involvement.

"I doubt getting his approval will be as easy as it was for Y/n." Loid analyzed as Yuri sat down.

Yor then put the abundance of flowers inside the small vase, "thanks for the flowers, Yuri."

"Sure, but... don't think I've approved of your marriage, Sis!" Yuri turned in his chair to face her, "it's just too sudden! And why'd you keep it a secret from me for an entire year anyway? I need answers, or I'll never approve!"

"About your brother..." Loid is seen talking to the family as they all sat on the couch. "It wouldn't be good to get caught up in a web of lies, right? So can't you just tell him that you got married to avoid the stigma of being single at your age? That really is a problem these days, isn't it?"

"No! I can't do that! My brother's a little ... eccentric. If I...if he found out I was living with soomeone I didn't love, he'd go ballistic!" Yor shook her head, "maybe I'm just making this difficult... but I really don't want to worry him. Don't worry though, I'll think of a good excuse!"

"Well, she knows him better than I do. I'll leave it to her." Loid looked at the three members of the Briar family.

"Well? Why aren't you answering me?" Yuri shouted.

"Um...it's because..." Yor thought of the best excuse, "I...I just forgot to tell you!"

Y/n spat out his tea as Loid accidentally shattered a glass. There was silence, "uh...okay...um."

"I just forgot!" Yor stated again.

"Wait, but what about the phonecall the other day...when you mentioned a partner...why didn't you tell me then...?" Yuri was confused.

"Oh, um, that was... I forgot that I'd forgotten to tell you!" Yor said it with confidence as another glass was lost to Loid's disbelief.

There was silence, Y/n put down his glasses, "there's no way on minefield he's gonna..."

"Well, that explains it then. Sorry for being suspicious." Yuri simply said. "You can be such a ditz sometimes, Sis."

"HE'S SATISFIED WITH THAT?!" Y/n and Loid shared a hive mind.

"I'm sorry, tee hee." Yor giggled.

"There's something wrong with this family..." Y/n sifted a bit as Loid brought in some snacks.

"Sorry for the wait." Loid smiled.

Yuri seemed hesitant to eat the food, but then devoured it. "Isn't Loid's cooking so good?"

"That reminds me, good thing I brought wine!" Yuri pulled out the bottle of wine.

Y/n stood up, "and that's my cue to leave. It was nice meeting you, Mister Yuri."

Yuri smiled, "that's a shame. Please call me, Uncle from now on. Are you sure we can't have him let a tiny sip?"

"NO!" Loid and Yor remembered what happen last time.

"Loidman! Try to get through- Gah!" Loid punched Frankie in the face back at the castle. "There's one more, remember! Come, final final boss!!"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! LET'S SEE YOU SQUIRM, UNIT!" Y/n appeared to be flying in the air and he raised his hand, the metal surrounding the castle started to shift around before Y/n tackled Loid to the bottom.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

"Yeah...?" Y/n just kept walking away, "I'll  see you later..."

Y/n closed his room and put the soundproof walls on. He went back to working on his boots, using a toothpick to get the hard to reach spots.
———-
"G'morhung..." Anya woke up the next morning, looking at a plant, "papa, you're so green today."

Loid had a sweat drop. "Go wash your face and wake yourself up."

Anya traveled in the bathroom to see Yor already getting ready, "good morning, Anya! It's too bad you couldn't meet Yuri last night."

"Who dat?" Anya wasn't fully awake.

"Things certainty did get lively last night!" Loid smiled.

"Oh! My uncle!" Anya suddenly started to read the minds, as Y/n walked out with his uniform on. "WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME SEE HIM?!"

"It really meant that much to you?" Loid questioned.

"Don't worry, you'll see him again." Y/n ruffled her hair.

"Let's eat our breakfast, we'll all be late." Loid suggested.

They all did so, as Y/n was quietly staring at the plate. Unusually quiet, his eyes were a bit scared. As if he was preparing for something? Anya suddenly said, "Papa, ba...mama is...a really bad cook."

"YOU COULD TELL THAT I MADE BREAKFAST TODAY?!" Yor was shocked and shed a comedy tear, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I did the best I could."

"That's why Ba was staring at his food.." Anya understood.

"Let's head out." everyone got ready and went to the school bus.

"HEY! Y/n!" William shouted from inside.

"Is something wrong, Anya?" Anya looked at the parents.

"Papa, mama...you have to get along!" Anya said, yet that all Y/n heard before William pulled Y/n closer.

"About damn time!" William smiled.

"I already told you! I don't know what that word means!" Y/n shouted back.
——-
"Papa! Mama! We're home." Anya said as Y/n opened the door.

"Welcome back, you two." Yor smiled, "was that your friend I heard this morning?"

Y/n was a bit embarrassed, "huh? Will? Oh yeah, he's pretty cool."

"What is it, Anya?" Loid asked his daughter.

Anya smiled bright, "you're getting along again!"

"Like I said, we were never fighting in the first place." Loid would remain puzzled.

Y/n smiled and pointed to the object on the table, "look! They have cake, Anya."

"CAKE! GIMME!" Anya rushed forward.

"What's the magic word?" Y/n asked her.

"PLEASE!!"
——————-
"So, this is...'dodgeball'?" Y/n is seen in gym clothes. The balls were lined up in front as everyone was getting ready to battle.

"Yep!" William cheered with his toothy grin, he slammed his hands together. "You don't know about it?"

Y/n turned to William, "I used to play charades with my shadows."

"What the hell man, that's really sad..." William said before the whistle was blown, "oh shit! I'll explain as you go!"

"As we go what-?" Y/n asked before someone picked up a ball on the other side.

"Take this!" they said as they threw a ball at Y/n's face. Y/n easily caught it and looked at the ball confused.

"Will?" Y/n asked.

"Yeah!?" William did a backflip to dodge a ball getting thrown at him.

"They just threw a ball at me. Ain't that rude?" Y/n asked.

Willam caught a ball to his side before he did a pitching pose, throwing the ball at one opponent. "Gah-!"

"That's how you play the game!" Willam turned away to look at Y/n.

Y/n got the assassins mode on, "should I knock them out?"

"What?! No! You try to hit the others with the ball. If you catch the ball, someone else can come in on your side that got out. If you fail to catch it, you're out. If you get hit, you're out. You wanna be the last one in."

"I see." Y/n held his chin.

"What are you two idiots doing?!" Sora shouted as she dodged an onslaught of attacks.

William snickered, raising his hand to his mouth. "Lookin good, Sora!"

"Screw you!" Sora shouted back before a fast ball came. Sora's eyes glinted before she leaned her back all the way, dodging the attack. "What the hell was that?!"

"Your brother is kinda slow." one of the kids told Anya.

"He's not doing much..." Anya thought to herself while looking at Y/n.

"My sister's doing awesome though!" Damian scoffed.

Delilah was zooming left and right and hit two foes. Willam looked at her, "whoa! She's fast!"

"Oh, hello boys." Delilah waved. Y/n lazily waved back.

"Oh, to your left." Y/n said as William and Y/n stepped to the right to dodge an attack.

"You think you're starting to get it?" William asked as they hopped over a ball attack in sync.

"Yeah," Y/n sighed in his mind, "I don't know how hard I can throw it though."

Y/n caught a ball and looked at it. He noticed a shadow on the other team moving fast but ignored it for now. He reeled back his hand, "only a little power for now..."

Y/n threw it, as everyone watched it move. It went so slowly that the person caught it with ease, and the group was in disbelief. So were the children. Y/n dodged the fast ball that they sent back. "Dang, I though that would get them."

"LIKE HELL IT WOULD! WHAT WAS THAT?!" Delilah, Sora, and William all shouted at Y/n.

"I'll show you how it's done," William scooped up a ball before throwing it at the shadow. "TAKE THIS!!"

The shadow caught it up threw it at the other team, getting some of Y/n's teammates out. "GAH-!"

"They just got two people out?!" Sora was shocked.

"This time!!" William picked up a ball and span it, the ball curved to fly in the air and hit the shadow. The shadow caught it, though, it went back a bit. "IT'S SO SMALL! I CAN'T HIT IT!!"

The figure seemed pissed by that comment, Sora and Y/n sensed something wrong. Sora was the first to think, "their aura just changed.."

"This bloodlust is intense!" Y/n thought to himself.

The figure's eyes glows red and threw the ball, "You jerk!!"

"Huh?" the ball zoomed by.

And in a brief moment of selflessness, "LOOK OUT!!"

"Huh?! Gah-!" William flew down to the floor.

The ball collided with Sora's face, something in Y/n's heart squeezed. His eyes twitched as he seemed shocked...but also devastated. "SORA!"

"You...you took that hit for me." William looked at Sora.

"Heh, I won't stand failure even if I can't be the one to shine..." Sora looked at the remaining three. "You better win, or get me in!"

"Right!" William wiped his tears and smiled. William picked up the ball, and pointed at the figure with a glare. "REVEAL YOURSELF, MURDERER!!"

"This is a game remember..." Delilah was feeling the tension, and dramatic setting was a bit much.

"You really want to see your maker that badly? Fine!" the figure stepped into the light.

Everyone froze, the figure was a small short brown haired girl. Y/n had a sweatdrop go down, "a...a kid?"

William bursted out laughing, "HAHAHAHAHA! IT'S A DWARF! I NEVER WOULD'VE GUESSED IT WAS A MIDGET!!"

The teen glared and threw the ball straight at William's face, knocking him back. Delilah and Y/n both looked at the boy, who was now laying on the floor. "...he kinda had that one coming...."

"WHERE'S MY EMOTIONAL DEATH SCENE!?" William shouted.

The tiny girl tossed a ball in her hand, "give it up. It's two of you, vursus all of us."

She was right.

They had their whole team back.

Some kids teased, "wow, Anya. Your big brother is screwed."

"Damian, your sis might be in trouble."

Damian and Anya didn't say much, but Damian shouted. "SIS! YOU GOT THIS!"

Becky looked at Anya, "c'mon, you should cheer on your brother as well!"

"A-ah!" Anya realized before she stood up, blushing a bit in nervousness, "you can do it, Ba!"

"Ba?" Delilah and the others questioned.

Y/n smirked, "Ahahahaha...Ahahaha....AAAAAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Y/n?" Delilah asked cautiously.

Y/n grinned and swooped up a ball,"if I do it at this angle!" Y/n leaped up into the air.

"What is he doing?!" Sora asked him, while William was shocked as well.

"That's asking for defeat!!" William shouted.

"Hit him!!" the tiny one shouted as everyone threw the dodgeballs at Y/n.

"Wait for it," Y/n deflected the dodgeballs with his own and span vertically in the air.

"How'd he?!" William shouted.

Delilah smiled, "so cool...what a show off, Ahaha!"

Y/n span the ball in his hand, "William...WRECKER!!" Y/n threw the ball after doing his equations in his head. The ball zoomed so fast that it got out half the team.

Y/n landed in the ground and clenched his fists, "alright! Delilah, let's pressure them!"

"Right." Delilah and Y/n quickly picked up some dodgeballs and started to pellet the other side with attacks.

"No, no!" the tiny one went left from right to stop her team from getting out. Sacrificing them so she could stay in. But it was to no use.

"You're all alone now!" Y/n shouted as he threw straight at the dwarf's face.

"No! No!!"

"Oni," the girl's father is shown looking at a younger her, "you may only grow as tall as your mother. But don't let that stop you. You can reach big heights, even with your one drawback."

"I can't lose here!" the girl's eyes started to glow red. She caught the ball and redirected it in one swift motion.

"I feel like she did something that made her win." Y/n said to himself. Yes, it's called 'Anime Flashback'. Y/n started to panic, "if I get hit by that, it'll be just as hard as Yor's punches!!"

Y/n blocked with his arms, but Delilah rushed in front of Y/n with her arms out. "I got you!!"

Delilah caught the ball, but due to the strong throws, it span in her hand. Delilah gritted her teeth. Y/n was shocked, but Delilah soon dropped the ball. "Ugh..."

"Fuck." Y/n finally said in Despair.

Everyone looked at him with shock, William held his mouth the tears. "He finally did it, I'm so proud."

Sora slapped the back of his head, "don't teach him useless stuff!"

Y/n seemed distorted as he slowly walked up to Delilah. "Why would you do that...? I would've just gotten out and you would've had your chance. There was literally nothing for you to gain!"

The boy was thinking logically in this moment. That's fine. After all, it's how he's stayed alive after all. But Delilah just chuckled, "it's just a game Y/n, I'm not dying." Delilah stood up straight, "besides, do I need a reason to help out a friend like this?"

Y/n's heart skipped a beat, all while his eyes went wide. Delilah patted her knees, getting the dust off. "well, it was fun while it lasted. No one will blame you if you lose."

She walked off as Oni laughed, "Ahaha! What's with the look? I've trained for this for a month."

"And I've only been here for 20 minutes and took out half your team, that must be embarrassing." Y/n spoke in a serious and deeper voice.

"I can't believe her." Oni shook her head, she had all the balls on her side. "She threw away her only chance of fame. What an idiot."

Y/n's body flinched as Anya started to get nervous. Becky looked at her, "huh? What's wrong, Anya?"

"Scary mode..."

"Huh?" Becky was confused as a shadow covered Y/n's face.

Sora also noticed something, "his aura got heavy. The air even got heavy. What the heck is this...?"

"I've toyed along long enough." Oni threw the ball with all her might. "TAKE THIS!!"

Y/n's eyes got narrow, with his purple eyes were filled with black swirls. His hands cracked before he raised a hand, catching the ball with ease, even though it was spinning. Y/n put his hands together, "I don't think of myself as nice guy, but anyone that talks Shuttle about my friends...." Y/n throws the ball so fast, that the air started to rip apart. The ball went straight into the stomach of Oni, pushing her so hard that she slammed against the wall, knocked out. "IS GONNA REGRET IT!!!"

William and the others were shocked, "my god..."

"HE WON!!" William jumped up and down.

"That's what you're on about?!" Sora and Delilah both looked at William with disbelief.

The headmaster smiled at the boy, "though some fowl language was used, they all worked together well, thinking about others before themselves. Truly elegant."

"Anya! Your brother is so cool!" Becky shouted with a smile.

Anya looked on with sparkles in her eyes. Y/n was tackled by William and lifted into the air by only William. Delilah seemed to be laughing while Sora was shouting at him to put Y/n down. "Yeah! My Ba's the coolest!"
—————
"And that's what happen at school today." Anya said as Yor and Loid both were in disbelief.

Though Yor was hiding in embarrassment, "I told him to hold back..."

Loid looked outside, looking at Y/n. He was just staring upwards into the sky. Loid rested his arms on the balcony, looking at the night sky. "Is there a free spot?"

"Help yourself." Y/n said as he didn't look away from his goal.

"Anya looks up to you, you know?" Loid looked at Y/n. Y/n didn't say anything, "sometimes I catch her planning to throw away her food using a bunch of equations, though it's all the wrong ones."

"Eeehh..." Y/n slumped in his arms a bit.

"But she really does. I don't think she would call on you for comfort for if she didn't." Loid references Y/n taking care of Anya's nightmares. "She's been alone for most of her life... I can't blame her for latching onto a brother for dear life. She's...sometimes I feel like I don't make enough time for her to be a kid...and she can't tell me everything, I guess. I'm glad you're there for her is what I'm trying to say."

"Of course. I'm a kid too, I wouldn't her to miss out on all the things I did..." Y/n gave a pity laugh, while Loid took that in. He said he was a son of Yor, but remembered that he was adopted. Y/n looked at the stars. "Do the stars always shine this bright?"

Loid smiled, "not always, but I like to think they do on special occasions."

"....the pollution in my time blocked the stars from ever showing up. But... now...things have changed..."Y/n held his head down, he looked at the door behind them and waved his hands, "come on, I'll show you something."

"?" Loid was confused but followed the boy. The two walked into Y/n's room as Y/n went under his bed, Loid panicked, "is it those fabled dirty books!?"

Y/n got out his buttons, and pressed the combination code hidden. The technology started to form around the room, as Loid's whole body shut down. "Eh?"

"This is my 'hobby.' I create things to help people." Y/n was sweating due to nervousness.

Loid closed his eyes, "I'm actually not that surprised. Yor accidentally let it slip a while ago."

"Y/n? Oh he's probably working on his super tech shoes."

"What?"

"Still, to this extent..." Loid was amazed, like genuinely amazed. "this is incredible...did you make all of this?"

"Well yes..I borrowed some parts here and there." Y/n was embarrassed.

"This is way advanced than anything at HQ. Maybe I should take some...no, not now. I wouldn't want to raise more suspicion. He finally is starting to trust me, I don't want to break that. Besides, I don't want to involve him more than I need to." Loid smiled to himself, "'more than I need to?' You've gotten soft, Twilight."

"Anyway..." Y/n pushed Loid out of the room and put away the technology. "Yeah, that was super embarrassing, so good night!"

"SO SUDDEN!" Loid put his foot in the door, "Wait...thank you for showing me this...I know it was probably scary but, it means a lot."

Y/n slowly gained a smile, calming down, "yeah, no problem, Loid."

"Well, good night." Loid removed his foot, walking back to the bedroom.

"Yeah...night." Y/n closed the door, but moments later, he went out the window.

Anya is in her room wide awake, "that was intense!!"
